My oh my sometimes the weight of these consequences is very difficult indeed. I feel like I am reframing my life constantly and I can not wait until I settle into routine. Does anyone else get stuck thinking that it is ridiculous to reach out because we caused this madness ourselves?
Thats how how I am feeling right this moment. I feel very weighted right now, and sad. For those of you who have read my past posts I am generally insanely optimistic, but sometimes this whole thing seems to catch me off guard and I don't know how to tell anyone how difficult this process can be at times.

I'm so glad to hear you reached out to your family . Sobriety is hard enough. You need a good healthy support system. I live in a smaller town and it was so hard to find a good for with my meetings. There all kind of like the "boys club". If you were at an AA MEETING you couldn't talk about drug use! I remember after my first week going I had an older gentlemen approach me and tell me I was better suited for NA. That kind of lit the fire for me and I went back everyday that week. I would get the worst glare from him but eventually I broke him and he came to me opened up on a more personal level. Some of these meeting are so hard to be a part of when your dealing with members who don't want outsiders. I think some forget what these meeting are all about. Helping each other!!!! still in my prayers! keep us updated !
